It is apparent from the style of writing and errors in the spelling of names that many of the earlier births were recorded long after the fact.  Thus, those dates may not be entirely accurate.  Based on the changes in handwriting, it appears that the initial entries were made sometime in the 1890's. 

In addition to the dates found in this Bible, the following information was copied from an old paper seen at the Kimmey/Baker Reunion on Sunday, June 24, 1973 by George Brian Clark.  It was given to Steve Baskauf on Aug. 14, 1977.
